0 ohm resistors and jumpers

[Marv Mod]

I was looking over Lace's Doppelganger board and was thrown by the resistors that were in place of the jumpers noted in the build doc.

It then dawned on me that these were 0R / 0 ohm resistors.

Quick question: Why / when would you use these, and what's the difference over just using jumper wires?

Cheers,
Jeremy

Look a bit neater and if you size your jumper for a resistor space, no need to cut a jumper to fit.

I use the majority of my 0 ohm resistors as jumpers on vero builds when the span for the jumpers is greater than the length of one standard resistor leg, which is what I use for most of my vero jumpers.

Just for appearance. I have some 3mm 0Ohm ones that I use occasionally.

They're also really useful as jumpers on breadboard.

they look much nicer to me and its what lovetone used..

Very useful, if you can find them cheap, pick some up and many uses for them will pop up. I sometimes use them to wire a switch the madbean way.

cool thanks for all the replies! They do look neater and are the way of Lovetone after all!

Cheers!

tayda has them for like a penny each, that's where I get mines
